DIRECTIONS.
Keep it very Cool, Take a Wine Glass
full at Meal Time and before re-
firing at Night.

Mr.. S. P. Teasdel, one of the largest Nor
mon merchants here, related a like expert
ence which he had recently in Kansas. He
wanted glass of beer and asked somebody
at one of the stations where the lager might
be had. He received the usual reply-there
wasn't any beer in the whole country, After
awhile, as he still stood on the platform, a
native rolled up to him and asked him if he
wanted drink real bad. He said he did,
and the native pointed the way to an under
ground saloon. ASK for ginger ale,n was
his parting injunction. Mr.. Teasdel went
down into a cellar and CROPPED his way to
the bar. He asked the citizen behind the
counter for ginger ale, and that gentleman
coolly drew him glass of keg beer Mr..
Teasdel was thirsty and drank the glass
full
LET me have another glass of that beer"
he said TO the barkeeper, as serenely as he
could. hi
The barkeeper glanced at him in open in
dignation.
ave have no beer, srl" he replied.
''Then give me glass of water" said Mr..
Teasdel
And forthwith the barkeeper with an
apologize smile, took hold of his glass and
drew him another beer.

mo, sir; never saw it, This is Kansas"
After several adventures of this kind some
tourists, more brilliant and daring than the
rest, will penetrate the jungles of the pro-
hibitionists and come forth with bottle,
or maybe half dozen bottles of beer. He
discovers the open sesame and from that
hour forward there is a lager festival on
board the train. Often they buy out the
saloonist's entire stock, and when the de-
mand is heavy the price fiuctuates quicker
and further than does the price of wheat
in the most exciting days on Change, Mr..
Reardon's experience is similar to nearly
everybody else's. 1t was short and sweet.
Here it is:
1--WE got off at place called Brookville,"
he said, land went into a sal Don at the depot
It was good looking country saloon, but
there were not any black bottles in sight
only bottles of ginger ale and bottles of bar
of beer, as saw others getting it.
"'We have no beer, sir, was the quick
answer that came from behind the bar, but
here's some good barley mead
" Take it, it's beer somebody suggested,
and asked How much bottleP Twenty
five cents the barkeeper replied. | took
two bottles, and do you know that was as
fine Milwaukee beer as l ever tasted any
wherel The folks in the train soon got on
to it, and they cleaned out the Brookville
saloonist of all his barley mead He begfn
by asking 25c a bottle, but in few seconos
it went up to Soc and then to 35c., and the
last of it sold at 40c. a bottle. | think the
man sold eight or ten dozen bottles As
souvenirs of the affair, l removed the two
labels from one of my bottles. The large
label announces that the contents are a
nutritious barley mead for nursing mothers,
invalids, etc. The smaller label, which l
took from the other side of the bottle tells
what the stuff is good for and gives the direc-
tions for taking it"
Mr.. Reardon gave me the two labels, and
/ forward them TO you. as think they will
provoke wide smile from the people who
have heard or read about the possibility of
getting beer or whisky in the State Of
Kansas. The smaller label is:

Like most tourists who cross the plains of
Kansas, Mr.. Reardon hadan encounter with
the modern archangel known as prohibition.
OF course everybody knows there isn't a
drop of beer or liquor sold in the Cyclone
State outside of the drug stores; at any rate
everybody knows that's the law. People
who never think Of wetting their lips with
lager or tempting their appetites with red
eye, get very thirsty in going through
Kansas. The colored man in charge of the
buifet--if they happen TO be riding in a

An elm tree and pine tree
Grew by castle wall;
The one was strong and full and broad,
The other straight and tall
And the elm tree and the pine tree
Grew by the castle wall.
There came a shipmap to the shore
And hewed the pine tree down;
There came a woodsman TO the wood,
And felled the elm trees crown.
There came two men who needed both
And marked and hewed them down.
And now the pine tree sails the sea
A topmast straight and tall;
And now the elm tree cradle stands
Where little children call;
And the elm tree and the pine tree
Have left the castle wall.

Wants the South Represented.

New YORK, May 2.-The Herald Of
this morning says that in ante bellum
days 1t was the Inevitable practice to
take either the president or vice-presi-
dent from the south. Is 1t not time that
the second highest post of honor
in the government be again
opened to the south. The democratic
party can now we'll afford to
name southerner for vice president and
1t may strengthen its ticket by doing so.
What sOUtherner is as widely and favor
ably known. north as well as south, by
popular reclamation as Henry W. Grady,
OF AtlantaP 1t will at once be accorded
that distinction would be given this
